This song was recorded in a single session one night in New Orleans (as you would expect.) The version on the album is slightly edited, and longer versions do exist. And, yes, there is a “New Orleans Instrumental No. 2” — it’s a B-side of the “Man In the Moon” single. This song was never performed...
